- Biography
- Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter born in 1853. He is known for his bold use of color and expressive brushstrokes. Despite struggling with mental illness throughout his life, he produced over 2,000 artworks, including landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. Van Gogh's early works were dark and somber, reflecting his struggles with depression. However, he later developed a brighter, more vibrant style, inspired by the French Impressionists. He spent time in Paris, where he was influenced by the work of artists such as Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec. Van Gogh's most famous works include "Starry Night," "Sunflowers," and "The Potato Eaters." He died in 1890 at the age of 37, having sold only one painting during his lifetime. Today, he is considered one of the most influential artists of the 19th century, and his works continue to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
